Directions to reduce risk of re, electrical shock, and injury:

1. Read all instructions before use.

2. Use caution when handling this steam unit. Burns could occur from touching hot metal

parts, hot water, or steam. Use special care to avoid contact with hot water when turning the

product upside down to empty the reservoir.

3. To reduce the risk of contact with hot water, test whether steam is ready before each use

while carefully holding the product away from your body. If no steam appears, wait a few

more minutes and test again. Do not look into the appliance, use your hands or other

objects to check for steam.

4. Do not leave appliance unattended while connected.

5. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.

6. Always disconnect appliance from electrical outlet when lling with water or emptying, and

when not in use.

7. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces. Let appliance cool completely before putting away.

Loop cord loosely around appliance when storing.

8. Never yank cord to disconnect from outlet. Instead, grasp just the plug and pull

todisconnect.

9. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord, or if the appliance has been dropped or

damaged. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble or attempt to repair

the appliance. All repairs must be performed by a qualied service professional. Incorrect

reassembly or repair could cause a risk of re, electric shock, or injury when the appliance

of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualied electrician to

replace loose or worn outlets.

11. To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage

appliance on the same circuit.

ENGLISH

12. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary, a 15 amp rated cord should be used. Cords

rated for less amperage may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that

the cord cannot be pulled or tripped over.

13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to

install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

14. CAUTION: If unit tips over while turned on and producing steam, it will continue to

produce steam. Use caution when picking unit up.

WARNING: Changes or modications to this unit not expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

ENGLISH

FILLING RESERVOIR WITH WATER

1. Place

Deluxe Compact Garment

FABRIC STEAMING

CAUTION: When steaming any material for the rst time, it is recommended that you test

on a small inconspicuous area before proceeding. Do not use on synthetic fabrics such as

100% nylon or polyester, or other steam-sensitive materials.

NOTE: Be sure the Reservoir has already been lled before following these steps (refer to

Page 6 for details).

1. Plug power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2. After approximately 2 minutes, steam will begin emitting from Steam Nozzle.

3. Direct Steam Nozzle towards fabric material you wish to steam. See below for additional tips

and procedures.

CAUTION: Always be sure that Steam Nozzle is pointed in a safe direction (away from

yourself, other people, pets and plants) when steaming.

Steaming garments:

•

Hang garment from a clean, rust-free hanger.

•

Direct Steam Nozzle towards bottom of garment. Steam will rise along inside and outside

of material, removing wrinkles. Slowly slide Steam Nozzle upward from bottom to top

ofgarment.

•

Direct Steam Nozzle away from garment and smooth material with your free hand.

•

Repeat as necessary until garment is fresh and wrinkle-free.

General steaming tips:

•

For most effective results, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2” of fabrics, or press it directly

against surfaces.

•

Curtains and draperies can be steamed while still hanging.

•

To remove wrinkles from towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, drape them over a rod or

towel rack and gently steam them.

•

Heavier fabrics may require repeated steaming to achieve desired results.

•

To remove exceptionally stubborn wrinkles, steam both sides of fabric.

•

Be especially careful when steaming any delicate fabrics that may be damaged by heat or

water spotting.

•

To sanitize a fabric, hold Steam Nozzle within 1/2 inch of a single area for at least 5

seconds. Use caution when doing this on more delicate fabrics.

When you are nished using your

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer, immediately unplug

power cord from electrical outlet. Refer to Storage & Care guidelines on Page 8 of this manual

for proper storage and maintenance procedures.

ENGLISH

PROPER STORAGE

Preparing your

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer for storage is quick and simple. When you

have nished your steaming tasks, follow the steps listed below.

1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.

2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).

3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap. Drain any water remaining in Reservoir into a sink or tub,

then add 1 oz. water. Shake to release mineral buildup and empty tank to minimize potential

mineral build-up. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.

4. Bundle power cord loosely.

5. Store

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer in a cool, dry location.

MINERAL BUILD-UP

A common maintenance need for steam appliances is the removal of build-up caused by high

mineral content in many municipal water supplies. This mineral build-up may cause the unit

to spew water, limit the effectiveness and reduce the life of your

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer.

The best way to minimize mineral build-up is to use distilled or de-mineralized water

when using your Deluxe Compact Garment Steamer. In addition, it is recommended that the

Reservoir be cleaned at least once a month in order to remove any deposits that form. This will

help to extend the life of your

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer and keep it functioning at its

maximumpotential.

Maintenance:

After EACH USE, allow unit to cool, add 1 oz. water, shake to release mineral buildup and

empty tank.

To remove mineral build-up:

1. Unplug power cord from electrical outlet.

IMPORTANT: Unit should remain unplugged during cleaning procedure.

2. Allow unit to cool (15 minutes for complete cooling).

3. Remove Water Reservoir Cap and drain any water remaining in Reservoir into a sink or tub.

4. Using a measuring cup, measure 4 oz. (118 ml.) of vinegar.

5. Slowly pour vinegar into Reservoir.

6. Allow vinegar to soak in Reservoir for 30-40 minutes.

7. Drain vinegar from Reservoir into a sink or tub. Rell Reservoir with fresh water, drain and

repeat until vinegar odor dissipates.

8. Replace Water Reservoir Cap.

9. Bundle power cord loosely and store

Deluxe Compact Garment

Steamer in a cool, dry

location.
